Between watching your channel and PushingUpRose's "Murder She Wrote" reviews, I particularly enjoyed your visual aid choice at 3:30. Also, I definitely understand your point of this 1982 version being a fine adaptation of the source material, but I'd still like to see you address the Marple version with all it's changes and tonal choice.

Thank you! I watched this movie as a young boy, on Swedish television, and was very impressed with it. I loved seeing Bill Bixby from my favorite show "The incredible Hulk" as another type of hero, and was delighted with how completely unexpected the murderer's real identity turned out to be for me. Actually, I only later realised that it was based on an Agatha Christie novel - shortly after I started reading her books - and I was delighted with how much of the movie I recognized in the novel, despite the obvious differences in temporal setting. I still cherish both versions of the story dearly.

Well, you've officially peaked my interest about these films. I am looking for new Christie material to fill the void since I've watched all the BBC stuff and read pretty much all the books and short stories. BTW, I would love to see an episode on the brand new Why Didn't They Ask Evans miniseries. It was soooo good. Also, if you can find it somewhere (I found in in the depth of Dailymotion I think), the 2001 CBS Murder on the Orient Express with Alfred Molina (also set in the "modern day") would for a helluva a review.

The movie "Murder On The Orient Express" starring Albert Finney was as good as the book -- possibly even enhanced the book. That is perhaps the best adaptation of them all. Absolutely great with a superb script, great acting and fantastic direction. You should comment on that adaptation!

I think it's a neat coincidence that actors who played the Hulk (or at least his human half) and Doctor Strange would play the same character in different adaptations of the same story. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who liked this film. But I have to admit that i also liked the Sparkling Cyanide adaptation as well.

This was the first Agatha Christie book I had ever read and I so looked forward to watching the movie and was sorely disappointed to find it modernised. And yes, the computer scene was a real hoot. I have yet been unable to bring myself to watch the Miss Marple version of Murder is Easy. The tv producers must really be desperate for more Miss Marple stories that they can sell.

This early 80's TV film is better than the Marple version of the 2000's. Plus in the 1982 version we see (briefly) the great Helen Hayes, handsome protagonist Bill Bixby, double Oscar winner Olivia DeHavilland and beautiful leading lady and prime suspect Leslie Anne Down. This one is entertaining and a good mystery.

The 1982 adaptation of Murder Is Easy isn't a bad adaptation and I still watch it from time to time. I'm glad they kept it in England. Funny how an adaptation like this transplants the original period setting into the modern day and pulls it off pretty well, though not perfectly, compared to adaptations that use the original time period from the novels and it's still awful

3:10 O...K, no. The chance of an old lady going to the police to expose a murderer to be accidentally killed is exactly the same as the chance of a tired golfer who just lost his chance for winning a championship. If going to the police to expose a murderer was giving some kind of protection against traffic accidents, hell, I'll be going to the police every day, naming some random person as a murderer.
